The Geo Group created the Seattle Ley Line Project , an artwork
commissioned and funded by the Seattle Arts Commission. Seattle is the first
city in America - possibly the first city anywhere - to have its ley lines
located and mapped. Sacred places located all over the world are generally
located over various Earth energies. These electromagnetic fields of energy
emanating from the Earth have the capability to improve the well-being of
people as well as the Earth as a whole. One of our goals is to identify the
presence of all kinds of Earth energies and work in harmony with the Earth
Spirit to improve the flow of these energies.

The Geo Group offers a 4.5 x 7 inch color photo of the Seattle
Ley-Line Map, showing major Seattle ley lines and power centers. The photo is
available for $7.00 from: Chuck Pettis The Geo Group LLC 1385 Raden PlaceFreeland, WA 98249

Crisscrossing the Earth is a network of energy lines called ley
lines. These ley lines originate at power centers. Ancient monuments such as
pyramids, stone circles, medicine wheels, shrines, cathedrals and other sacred
architectural structures traditionally have been located on power centers.

Power centers are significant because they can affect
consciousness and uplift the human condition. When power centers are amplified
through the application of a specific set of design elements, they can have a
perceptible, positive influence on people and the environment.

The Seattle Ley-Line Project was The Geo Group's first major
project. Its purpose was to:

Identify and map the major ley lines and ley-line power
centers within the City of Seattle using dowsing techniques; and

Design and build a series of environmental artworks that will
be used to mark and enhance the ley-line energy.

A $5,000 grant for the Seattle Ley-Line Project was provided to
The Geo Group by the Seattle Arts Commission to "explore their visions for the
city of Seattle . . to consider the fantastic as well as the realizable." The
Project was commissioned for the Visionary Collaborations portion of Northwest
Interpretations to represent what Seattle as a City might become.

To date, an artwork showing the Seattle Ley-Line Map and
proposed environmental artworks has been completed and is being exhibited as
part of Seattle City Light's 1% for Art Portable Works Collection. The artwork
is encased in a wood and metal case in the shape of the squared circle. In the
center of the case is a large map of the Seattle ley lines and on either side
of the map is a description of the project and proposed
artworks to be built on the power centers in the city.

The artwork and large map are on rotating display in city-owned
buildings within Seattle. For information on the artwork's current location,
contact the Seattle Arts Commission, telephone: (206) 625-4223.

This project made Seattle the first city on Earth to balance
and tune its ley-line system. The project received front page coverage in
The Seattle Times. Five years later, the April 1993 issue of Seattle
Arts reported:

"Some artworks start life in fiery controversy and eventually
find enthusiastic acceptance. When in 1987 an artist working with individuals
from other disciplines cre- ated an artwork tracking the invisible 'ley lines'
in the Earth's surface - imposing a grid of lines over a satellite photo of the
Seattle area and placing crystals at significant junctures, then beautifully
framing the whole thing to hang on the wall - it sparked a brief but nasty
battle over the separation of church and state, art and faith. The (Seattle)
Arts Commission was accused of funding a New Age, pagan sect. Now the work
hangs happily on the wall of a new home the DCLU (Department of Construction
and Land Use in the Dexter Horton Building), where many visitors figure it must
somehow relate to the City's zoning policies."

The vision of the Seattle Ley-Line Project is to heal the Earth
energies within the Seattle city limits by identifying ley-line power centers
in Seattle, neutralizing negative energies and then amplifying the positive
potential of the ley-line power centers. We believe the result will be a
decrease in disease and anxiety, an increased sense of wholeness and well-being
and the achievement of Seattle's potential as a center of power for good on
Spaceship Earth.

Dowsing techniques were used to identify and map the major ley
lines and power centers located within Seattle. The map you see above is an
accurate artistic representation of all the ley lines and power centers we
identified. Since most of the ley lines are on private property, we have
deliberately kept this map representational.

It is our opinion that Seattle is definitely a major center for
Earth energies. There are several places in the city that have the potential to
become sacred places similar to, but not as large as Stonehenge or the Great
Pyramid.

How can I get a Ley-Line map of my city or area ?

Over the years, we have gotten calls from other people
interested in a ley-line map of their city. If not done correctly, dowsing a
city can be dangerous. It's one thing to dowse a piece of property for a water
well, it's another thing to dowse a large area, especially a large metropolitan
area, for ley lines and power centers. It took over three months to dowse
Seattle using a four- by eight-foot road map. For protection and correct
results, every dowsing session was preceded by meditation and a specific set of
spiritual practices. Do not attempt to dowse a city without a deep practice in
meditation and years of dowsing work in the field.

What are ley lines, power centers and other Earth
energies?

Ley lines are straight lines of electromagnetic "Yang" energy
with a beginning point and an end point. Water lines are underground streams of
water flowing through creaks and veins beneath the Earth's surface. Both ley
lines and water lines create a field of energy that has an effect on
onsciousness and how you feel. Once you teach yourself to be sensitive to Earth
energies, you can feel their effect on you just like you feel the effect of a
strong cup of coffee.

Power centers are places where ley lines begin. A power center
is created by the presence of both ley energy and underground water. The
combination of the two creates a power that has the capability to not only
affect consciousness, but also to retain the feelings of people who have
visited the site. Power centers can save feelings and emotions in the same way
a computer disk holds programs or a battery holds energy.

How do you find ley lines and how can I learn more about
them?

The easiest way to find ley lines and power centers is by
dowsing. Dowsing is a technique for using the body's potential to receive and
feel energy. By practice, a dowser learns to feel the presence of underground
water and ley lines. Just like a radio tunes into electromagnetic waves in the
atmosphere and converts the waves into music, a dowser uses a tool such as a
dowsing rod or a pendulum to act like the indicator light on the radio dial to
help indicate where a ley line is located.

There are a number of books on ley lines besides Secrets of
Sacred Space by Chuck Pettis. Two we recommend are: Dowsing by Tom
Graves and The View Over Atlantis, by John Michell. You can also write
the American Society of Dowsers, Danville, VT. They have chapters all over the
U.S., many of which study Earth energies.

What is environmental art?

Environmental art is a major international art movement that has
been recognized within the arts community for at least the last 20 years.
Environmental art involves the environment as a design element in the final
artwork. It includes an artwork and a site or space that are united into a
single entity. Several successful environmental artworks in the greater Seattle
area include: the Source on Mercer Island by John Hoge, Gasworks
Park by Rich Haag, and Richard Fleischner's work for the City of Kent.
National environmental artworks include: Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty,
Walter de Maria's Lightning Field and Christo's Running Fence.

What do you mean by healing the Earth?

There are two primary ways of healing the Earth via Earth
energies. One is to neutralize the effects of negative energies, and the other
is to add positive vibrations to neutral or positive spaces. When underground
water gets polluted, it creates a negative field which can affect health and
cause disease. A power center can have a negative feeling if negative emotions
or events have occurred at the site. Once a power center or underground water
stream has been identified as negative, it can be neutralized by using a number
of intuitional techniques. A power center can be improved by encouraging and
fostering positive thoughts and activities at the site.
